Any idea as to how many apps by unique students are being sent this year? I've read that the number of apps have increased, but the number of unique students is about the same. That means that, on whole, applicants are applying to more schools than in years past.

Ok. Forgive my slowness. I thought you were asking about specific applicant characteristics.

I don't have any hard data, but I think you're right. Most law prep books published pre-2000 tell applicants to submit 6-8 applications. Most now tell applicants to submit 9-12. That may be an indication.
